The black Tether Tools TetherPro USB 2.0 Type-A to 5-Pin Mini-USB Cable is 15′ long and has gold-plated connectors to provide consistent and reliable conductivity as well as corrosion resistance. The ends of this cable feature a standard USB Type-A male connector and the other side is outfitted with a 5-pin mini-B male plug, which is compatible with most digital cameras.
To deliver data at speeds up to 480 Mb/s, Tether Tools has equipped this cable with USB 2.0 technology. It sports a reinforced Ferrite core that filters out signal noise and reduces transmission errors. In addition, the full-lined shielding feature protects the signal against external interference.

The cable works great. The reason for only 4 stars is because of the price, which seems a bit high at almost $$per foot.

I’m an amateur photographer and i bought this to shoot tether to my imac which is about 10ft away from where i have the seamless paper, i did some testing and it works perfect. flexible enough good fit on the 60D and to the iMac. Will buy again if need.

i use an external wifi card from alfa industries to connect, this is the cable i use and i must say wifi capabilities are great no matter what length the cable is … if you use a cheap cable then shortest will prevent loss of wifi but that means using a 3 inch cable … but not with tetherpro no matter how long it is wifi will BE 100% …

This cable is very well made and uses quality components. I like the fact the cores are obviously multi-stranded and laid in a way that makes the cable very flexible so there are no annoying kinks and bends when it is in use. The plugs feel secure and solid and the cable works perfectly as far as tethering my camera to my computer. Only four stars because I just don’t see why it has to be so expensive. Some products are very specific to the task for which they are designed, which obviously means they fill a niche and can command a higher price. While the cable is well constructed of quality components none of them are unique and its use is not particularly esoteric.

Have been really impressed with the quality of all the Tethrpro cables we have purchased. The quality is great.

I use this cable to connect (tether) my camera to my computer, so i can immediately review the photo on a big screen right after I click the shutter. This is great for food or product photography!! Orange color helps prevent tripping!

The color is great for visibility, length is good size to give easy comfort moving around. Do suggest Jerk Stopper with cable to protect from pulling out of camera.

I’ve tried to transfer files from my Canon 6D, and tether with a 7D and 5DM3, and no dice. Just hangs there. No issues using a card reader or anything else.

I used to work in musical instrument & pro audio retail and I hate to pay retail for cables, but I also realize the value of having good cables where data and audio transfer are critical. I bought these cables for all of my camera tethering and for data communication with one of my synthesizers to communicate with my computers. Im very pleased with the construction and performance & I also like the bright orange so these cables stand out from my other data cables.

I’ve been shooting tethered in the studio so the client can get more immediate feedback on their poses, etc. This is a perfect solution.

Well, it is a cable that gets the job done and that is what matters. The cable itself, to my surprise, was much more flexible that I had expected and yet sturdy enough for it to deal with constant use.

Nice solid cable. The orange color stands out on set and is a good safety measure for preventing tripping or having your camera pulled over. Get the JerkStopper Camera Support accessory to avoid putting additional strain on your camera’s USB connection. 15′ of length gives you a nice amount of room to work with. Transfer rate is great for single shots & short bursts. Longer bursts will obviously take longer to transfer.

So happy I finally got the cable. Its super long and very reliable. You only need to make this purchase once so get the long 15′ cable so you have room to move around!

I use this in my studio for tethered work and it functions well. I found this cable in black on @ for $ and it probably would function equally as well, however, the only reason I purchased this cable is because it is orange and makes it more noticeable. I have ruined other cables by stepping on them so maybe this will keep me from doing it as often…

This cable is for my New Nikon D750, which is different from my other old nikon cameras. The one nikon provided from the box is way too short for tether shooting. Tried using other cable from cheaper brand. The signal keeps dropping. Not good for shoot. frustrating.. Tried the cable. so far no dropping of signal. Love the orange colour. easier to spot. Preventing from tripping over. Well, only if the price can be cheaper will be nice…
